2 Potassium sulphate Polymer coating Ammonium Dihydrogenorthophosphate Diammonium phosphate Non-hazardous ingredients Composition comments Mixture Proprietary < 4 All concentrations are in percent by weight unless ingredient is a gas. Gas concentrations are in percent by volume. This Safety Data Sheet is not a guarantee of product specification or NPK value(s). NPK content is on specified sales orders, customer invoices, or product specification sheets obtained from supplier. 4. First-aid measures Skin contact Eye contact Ingestion Most important symptoms/effects, acute and delayed Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed General information 5. Fire-fighting measures Suitable extinguishing media Unsuitable extinguishing media Specific hazards arising from the chemical Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Fire fighting equipment/instructions General fire hazards Move to fresh air. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues. Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists. Rinse mouth. Get medical attention if any discomfort continues. Eye contact: Symptoms can include irritation, redness, scratching of the cornea, and tearing. Skin contact: Mild skin irritation. Dust may irritate throat and respiratory system and cause coughing. Treat symptomatically. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Water fog. Water spray. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Foam. Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Heating may cause the release of ammonia vapors. Selection of respiratory protection for firefighting: follow the general fire precautions indicated in the workplace. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing should be worn when fighting chemical fires. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. Cool material exposed to heat with water spray and remove it if no risk is involved. The product is not flammable. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear suitable protective clothing. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. Avoid dust formation. Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. If sweeping of a contaminated area is necessary use a dust suppressant agent which does not react with the product. After removal flush contaminated area thoroughly with water. Environmental precautions 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Never return spills to original containers for re-use. Avoid release to the environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or watercourses. Avoid generation and spreading of dust. Avoid inhalation of dust and contact with skin and eyes. Use only with adequate ventilation. Observe good industrial hygiene practices Version #: 01 Revision date: - Issue date: 27-May / 7

3 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Store away from incompatible materials. 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational exposure limits US. ACGIH Threshold Limit Values Dust Biological limit values Appropriate engineering controls Type Value Form TWA 3 mg/m3 Respirable particles. 10 mg/m3 Inhalable particles. No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Wear dust-resistant safety goggles where there is danger of eye contact. Skin protection Hand protection For prolonged or repeated skin contact use suitable protective gloves. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier. Other Normal work clothing (long sleeved shirts and long pants) is recommended. Respiratory protection If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn. Wear air supplied respiratory protection if exposure concentrations are unknown. In the United States of America, if respirators are used, a program should be instituted to assure compliance with OSHA 29 CFR and ANSI Z88.2. Thermal hazards General hygiene considerations 9.
